Where can I even begin. The property is amazing. Spacious, comfortable and full of amenities. Beyond the property, however, the hosts and their support staff on premises were well beyond our expectations. In preparation for the trip, the communication and flexibility was exceptional. Once we arrived, we worked with the property’s driver who picked us up and helped us get anywhere we needed to go. We opted to have their in house Chef prepare meals for us and they blew our minds. We had dinner out one night, the food was good but nothing compared to what Chef Raymond prepared for us. We also opted for them to provide drinks and the bar was always stocked, any special requests were discussed and fulfilled in no time. I have received notes from every guest in our party saying this is one of the best trips they’ve ever had and it wouldn’t have been possible without Anders, Karen, David and the Villa Palma team at Group Palmera.

My husband and I stayed at this villa with 9 of our friends/family for our wedding weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic! The accommodations were perfect for all 11 of us. We all had our own privacy but gathered around the outdoor pool and dining table every night and morning. The staff were phenomenal. Ramon’s cooking was exceptional as was Victor’s hospitality! We would definitely recommend staying here!

A group of ten of us came here for my husband’s 50th birthday! It was an incredible trip. The house was amazing. Clean, modern, and we loved the outdoor space and privacy! The food was incredible. Jimi is the most amazing chef and cooked us everything we wanted, never leaving us hungry. We couldn’t even choose our favorite dish- it was all wonderful. Kemil, our butler, was incredible catering to our every need. Michi kept the house and our rooms spotless. David helped us get anything we needed and assisted with excursions. We spent a day at the beach club which was amazing. They all worked so hard to make this vacation extra special. We will be back!

Team team was amazing before, during, & after our stay at the Villa. We didn't have many ask but the team made everything we asked possible. David, Nelson, Rafael did such an amazing job from helping with restaurant reservations, recommendations, excursions, preparing intimate dinners & more. We will defiantly be staying at another property.

I had my birthday trip here with 11 ladies and it was amazing!!! We all had an awesome time. The house was sooo beautiful and we felt super safe in this gated community. The butler E was such a nice and friendly guy. He made us mimosas or margaritas every morning with our breakfast. The chef Santo prepared our delicious meals everyday which were delicious. Just wished it was more Dominican authentic food to choose from. Our maid was great we barely saw her but our rooms would always be clean and ready when we went to sleep. Everyone was so nice and so sweet and so respectful. We loveddd the staff. The bar was fully stocked and we had fun making cocktails. Overall I had the best experience and so did my friends and we were totally booked the same place again.
